One a sturdy son of brown and muscle, good tempered in victory or defeat. The. other his equal in size and strength, whole souled and generous in many respocfs, but ansionate and impulsive. The two young men were in the prime of manhood. They were rivals in the sports of that day. At the neigh bor’s home a wrestling match took place resulting in the defeat of the owner. A war of Words ensued. irritating still more the rising temper of the defeated athlete. A threat to shoot met with a daring defiance. The ever ready rifle was brought into requisition for its deadly St‘l'ViCC. The two men, thinking matters looked serious, fled for protection to u placu of Safety. The young farmer also sought safety in retreat. \Vhile enâ€" deavoring to (clear a. low fence he. re- ceived the fatal bullet in his left side and fell. The perpetrator of the trrrible crime was arrested by a constable by the name of Dye, who took his prisoner before Captain James Fulton, Esq., U. E. Loyalist. H. hero of Brnndywino and Bunker Hill. a sketch of whom has already appeared in these columns. Squire Fulton was our first Justice. of the Peace, and at time owned the, present Vanderhurgh homestead. After it preliminary investigation, he was committed to await his trial at the assizes at York, now Toronto. On the way the prisoner had to pass his home. He requested the privilege of going in for some thing he needed. Once inside he locked the door, lenv- ing the constable on the outside, For Sometime he \vus successful in holding; the fort. Just at this junuture there passed a detachment of soldiers on their way from York to Penetan- guishene, then the northern hemi- quurters of the military. Dye induced some of the soldiers to make a. charge on the dwelling. They entered the door with fixed lmyonets. The prison- er was recaptured. The scaffold was :1 most prixnitiee affair. It was erected on the street in hunt of tho old jail. In those early days there was no experienced Ratl- clifl‘ to arrange fur the modem and more scientific exit of such unfortunate At the aséizes on a.

Harrison. who had been superintendent of the Meth- odist. Sabbath School for the past 40 years, had definitely decided to resign his position, a number of the friends resolved on showing their- apprecia- tion to 1!. Certain extenb for his fillLll- ful and valuable services. It soon he- came known that many who had re- moved from the village were anxious to join in the Lestimonial, therefore in older to give time, the presentation was delayed until last evening. A pleasant programme was arranged, and a large number assembled in the school room of the church and spent a, social time together. Rev. Mr. Mc- Culloch made, an admirable chairman, and after singing. Rev. Mr. Large opened with prayer. During the evening the following musile proâ€" gramme was presented : Solo, “ Low-’5 01d Sweet Song.” Mr. violatex's of the law of God and man. All exvcutions were in public and thousands flocked m the scene tn grat- ify u Inorbid cumsity. On 2’Monday they guilty man was hrmwht from his cell to suffer the dc- nmnus of justice, and was requested Ln ascend the ladder for that purpose. Not liking the appearance of the ar- rangements above him, he firmly TC- fust-d to do so. Th:- lth/e Rev. John Sti-uhun, Bishop of Toronto, who from frequent pastoral visits to the early settlers in this vicinity, must have known both of the unfortunate young men, was then Prison Chaplain. To instruct. his ward in the way he should go, the Chaplain mounted the ladder AOL mung the appearance or the rungeineuts above him, be firmly re- fused to do so. The late Rev. John Strnhnn, Bishop of Toronto, who from frequent pastoral visits to the early settlers in this vicinity, must have known both of the unfortunate young men, was then Prison Chaplain. To instruct. his ward in the way he should go, the Chaplain mounted the ladder several times. His Ward’s perceptive faculties were somewhat, slow in com- prehension. Ultimately to facilitate the ends of justice, Sheriff Ritlont got four strong men to lift the doomed man up to the fatal noose. Swinging into eternity he paid the penalty of his dreadful crime. in 1:32) some men digging a collar in the locality of the gaol yard, Toronto, czune upon a box about three feet be- low the surface of the ground contain- ing a human skeleton. One of the Toronto newspapers suggested that it might be the remains of the murderer of the youngi'nrmer of lot 38, Mark- ham, near Richmond Hill. fifty-five years before. This elicited from the late Mr. Geo. Munshnw, who resided among us, a correction of the supposi- Lion. {11’- y keep you in His perfect peace and when He calls you up higher may those who have listened to, and profit- ed by your teachings and counsels in Richmond Hill Methodist Sabbath.

At the, conclusion of the address Mr. Switzer, Mr. Harrison’s successor as superintendent, made the presenta~ Lion, which consisted of a purse of $50, and a beautiful gold watch, suitably engraved. Before calling upon the recipient. to respond, the chairman in well-chosen words, addressed Mr. Harrison, expressing, on behalf of those who contributed, the pleasure it gave them to assist in such a laudable undertaking. Among those from a. distance who contributed, and whose letters contained expressions of grati- tude for Mr. Harrison, were the fol- lowing: Angus Smith, C. A. Storey, ‘Vm. Freek, H. B. Myers, Mrs. A. J. Paul, John A. Storey, former pupils; Rev. W'. F. Wilson (Hamilton), Rev. J. M. Sim son, Rev. \V. R. Barker, Rev. J. l . Den-n, Rev. Peter Addison, Rev. J. H.

LII-.Mlinshaw stated that immediate- ly after the execution the condemned man's wife obtained the remains of her husband [mm the authorities and that they were bmied on the farm in the garden a few rods from Yonge street. The farm subsequently fell into the hands of the late Mr. Thus. Harris, builder. At that time the sunken burial spot, without head- board or stone, had become a nest for thistles. Each year the wild grass grew rank and tall above it. The nmrderel"s resting place was fast becoming oblit- erated.
